The only Twitter I follow. Except yours ;)
The Frozen Minority; Bungie's real underground. The oldest members, the deepest controversy, walking infamy.

Public Enemy, we have guys like you come through once a month. Ok, we get it, you like to rip peoples posts apart. If I had the time I would do it to every person I disagreed with.

But I don't.

You are doing nothing but derailing the thread and being a jerk. And if you think I won't stretch the rules to make that a bannable offense, you are in for a suprise. So here is the deal; be nice and sit down or I will shut you up myself.

You should love this post, no sugarcoating at all, just the honest truth.

I'd be surprised if mike does another interview with the way everyone is harassing him.


Of course ill do another one.
I will take every-ones support, constructive criticism and ideas, on board.
I will ignore that which teaches me nothing.

Actually Pezz, you can stretch the rules as much as you want according to the CoC.

If you were referring to me, but talking about his actions you shouldve used the word he, not you. Either way, CE is banned, so you shouldnt really be bothering yourself with discussing his actions. If you havent noticed I've only been responding to people who say things like "both" or "you two". If you dont have a problem with my posts why are you posting? If not to debate me there is no reason, especially considering that CE is gone.


No not really, I used "you" to make the phrase more direct/personal. If you notice I never wrote that Public Enemy called Mike a failure so there's no problem with it.

I do have a problem with one of your posts, the one where you said that CE's conduct had a point.

There's no point in insulting someone. There's no point in calling someone a failure. I hope you don't think there's a point in completely bashing someone.

Isn't that nice. A moderator admitting he will do morally questionable activities to remove me. That gives me so much faith in this site, no wonder why Achronos finds it hard to locate trustworthy responsible people. People who can keep track of their own items, people smart enough not to get hacked. I'm sorry Pezz, thats two strikes. Faulty morals, and a lack of responsibility. If you're going to ban me you will, its your choice, but if you're willing to bend/circumvent/bypass the rules to do it, it says quite a bit about your character as a person, and your reliability as a moderator.

May I ask you something. How did you find about when Pezza was hacked considering you have not been here nearly long enough to have been present when that happened?

Also, if you don't like the way Pezza moderates, confront Achronos. Though, judging by precedent, he won't care.

Did I ever say that the insults were the points? No. Did I ever say calling someone a failure was the point? No. Did I ever say that bashing someone was the point? No.

I love how selectively some people read things. The point presented by his posting was that there was no reason for everyone to make posts like "Excellent interview" when they didnt actually believe it. You even did it. If you are just going to post a lie about the quality of his interview, you would be better off not posting at all. As I said before, id rather be around 100 honest dicks than 100 liars. At least with a dick you can learn what was wrong.


OK that's good I hoped you would say that

When you start to insult someone no one takes your point seriously. So I don't think that was a good thing.

I was just wondering if you supported his insults and personal attacks, since I wasn't sure what point you were talking about.

Another question why do you think this was done for attention??

Actually he cant. Moderator=/=admin. Achronos would be an admin, but not a regular moderator.


I'm pretty sure designee is up there right before admin. I dunno, though, maybe my computer is just putting up random words. I should get that checked out.

All of the sugar coated lies.


What if someone really did enjoy his interview? I thought it was cool that someone in the community took some initiative, and it was a good read. But I guess you know me better than I do, don't you?

Oh teh noes. I'm teh alternate accountz. I've already explained the age of this account before, so ill give you the breif one. This=new account, I have an old account, old acount=/=banned, so new account=allowed


He's right. If his old account isn't banned, he can make a new one. I personally am on my 3rd. I've only had one ban (3 days for replying to spam) and it was on this account.

Public Enemy, what was your old account anyway?

The numerous Mike D plugs, I.E. him talking about himself.

The bumps after the thread makes it to the second page by mike D with things like "thanks guys"

Simply put, it just seems like mike wrote something in 5 minutes, full of mike D information, then forced it to stay on the front page by bumping it.


Can you show me the bumps? The one you mentioned in this thread was only 40 minutes from the last post, if the timing is accurate. I don't see anything wrong with him expressing his gratitude.

He did talk about himself but I thought that was him trying to show conversation between them. I thought it was interesting.

Also, what's wrong with having a poll for candidates?

Sure. Save the fact that my first account was before I got live. I wanted my new account to match my old gamertag (True Underdog). Then I decided I didn't want to have a child account anymore so I made a new gamertag. With rumors that Bungie may make the site work with Xbox live...yeah it's pretty "phail" that I wanted to have my new gamertag linked. I'm sorry for being "epic phailure" Squirrel Dude.

IDK if this is part of the confusion, but I was saying second page referring to the thread hitting the second page of the septagon. Also, if your just looking for an example, on the first page he does it, be sure to check AM/PM as well as numbered time.

Interesting is your opinion of it, but a good interview should always focus on the interviewee(IMO), and to me a basic conversation is far different from an interview.

It isnt the poll, its the people on it. Its like he picked names from a hat and didnt bother trying to get with anyone(please dont take this the wrong way) interesting. The list looked like mike D's list of people who agreed with him the night before in optimatch, not mike D's list of people who would make a good interview or people that readers would have interest in reading about.


Do you always have to split the post? I know it's your "thing"but it get's annoying.

Uh I see, it was a day later; but still it was him expressing his gratitude so I don't consider it a bump.

Well at least he gave people a choice on who to interview, unlike your short-lived spotlight where you apparently picked your halo buddy.

And also in your interview you did talk about yourself, (please don't insult me by saying otherwise) so I don't know how you can criticize him for that when you did the same thing.

  • 11.04.2007 10:29 AM PDT

Don't send me group invites.

Personally, I think the idea was a great one, but the implementation not so great. Foman's post on the second page on how to do interviews is pretty right on.

Edit for grammar and focus on the interviewee. Ask more opened and interesting questions and try to follow up with other questions if the answer isn't very interesting. Try to ask questions where you will find out things about the person and make them type a bunch. Finally, about the people you interview, maybe a few more prominent members. Though with that last point, "more prominent" is subjective, so just try to do more what the community wants.

Sorry my post sucks, it's early, I'm enjoying my cornbread and watching football.

My choice for my "halo buddy interview" was one that I figured people would consider interesting. Lots of people told me it was, and they used more specific reasons than "excellent interview". Also, I dont think that I talked about myself, I'll check in a minute, but if I did I'm sure it wasnt nearly on the level of Mike D.


True but Mike made an effort to get the opinion of people with a poll, which you didn't do in a poll. He's trying to get people involved so I don't see how you can criticize him for that. It wasn't on the same level as MIke but it was still there. He's trying to give people information on someon who not a lot of people know about, but there's a comparison to be made with your spotlight where you're rewarding someone for bad behavior by giving them a spotlight. There both different takes on the normal spotlight.

"a phrase coined by logical thinking"

That wasn't necessary at all, why would you bring someone different from the interviewee up in a question?

Also, I would think that the point of a traditional spotlight is too reward a member for their contributions to the site. I don't see that happening in either of the spotlights.
